In one paragraph

This follow-up to Public Act 103-0294 amends the Civil Remedies for Nonconsensual Dissemination of Private Sexual Images Act (740 ILCS 190/5, 15). It defines a "digitally altered sexual image" as visual media created or substantially altered so that it would falsely appear to a reasonable person to be an authentic depiction of an individual, and covers a person whose face appears in such an image. It adds good-faith defenses, such as reporting or investigating unlawful conduct. Effective December 8, 2023.
